WATCH: Podcaster Tim Pool Gets Raided By Police During Livestream

 

Podcaster Tim Pool was raided by police officers while live on the air in what he said was a “swatting” incident.

Swatting is the act of calling emergency services and making false allegations in order to send police to a certain address.

“The cops just walked in,” Pool said in the middle of his Timcast IRL podcast taping.

“We’ve been swatted. I am extremely unhappy with this,” he continued. “I do not like cops coming into my house when we have mats all over the place. They come back with a warrant. I do not know who let them in or why. I understand they’re here because we got swatted.”

Pool said that someone called police and said two people were murdered at his house.

“A report had been made that two people were shot and killed and that the gunman was threatening to hurt themselves. They didn’t send a SWAT team it was just a couple of officers,” Pool said. “But I am not happy with the idea that they are walking into our studio while we are live.”

Pool also took to Twitter to explain the situation.
